EMPIRE PREFERENCE. ’ MANUFACTURERS' RESOLUTION. 'CONFERENCE A DISAPPOINTMENT. ft _ . United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received Nov. 5, 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 4. ;* Mr. George Turrell, president of the % National Union of Manufacturers, moved at the annual meeting in favour of the revision of customs and other regulations affecting the importation of produce, and urging the Government to negotiate with the Dominions on ■ a preferential basis for inter-im-perial trade. He added that the Imperial Conference was a great disappointment. The Government was simply offering the Dominions theoretical problems devoid of business reality, and the Conservative. Party, but for Beaverbrook - Rothmere propaganda, would still be muddling with safeguarding under free trade domination. The next Conservative Government should have a free hand to negotiate with the Dominions, i Mr, Turrell urged the termination i of the miserable bickering in’ the press. • i The motion was carried, despite Mr. - ''Thomas Howard's assertion that the Beaverbrook stunt would delay the •safeguarding of manufacturers for 20 : years,. while dumping smashed their industries to smithereens. The Government's attention was directed to the insolvency of the un(employment fund.
